ask for a copy of DHCR's RN-7 form, which is the rent administrator's progress notes. that will confirm that a copy of the landlord's response had never been sent to you. your request for reconsideration should be based on "irregularity in a vital matter" if unsuccessful, bring an article 78 proceeding -- but PLEASE do it with the help of a lawyer who should be able to get the matter remanded AND attorney's fees for DHCR's routine violation of tenant's rights of rarely sending owner's responses and an adequate opportunity to respond. there is a DHCR memo that I have which states that RN-7's should be given to folks who explain a need for it. perhaps TenantNet can make it available to the board. let me know if it should be posted and I'll fax it to TenantNnet. good luck
